I moved to that Scotland in 1998.
To meet people I went to the pub.
In my free time I went to the pub.
The world cup happened.....I watched most of it in the pub.
I discovered that scottish people don't generally like English people...especially when they're young, drunk & celebrating england goals in their pubs.
I didn't really like living in Scotland.

My ex lived in Glasgow and whenever I went up there she used to just translate the locals and they were inevitably threatening to beat me up.Was thinking more further a Field that shitland
I quite liked it though.

To be fair, I had some great nights out in both Glasgow & Edinburgh....I lived in Edinburgh.
It was just the day to day shite than ground me down.

Chances are there will English speaking drinks/happy hours you can go to - these will be a good way to meet new people (locals will want to practise their English too).
Yea I was there for a few months just as I was getting some stuff sorted at my misses, and we went out drinking one night some young lad asked me how I was in Hungarian lucky j understood but I had no clue how to respond so just said fine in English and turns out he spoke English aswell
, im only living in a small town though so not many English speaking.

Don't blame anyone for moving abroad. I've grown to hate this country over the last 18 months.
Phsyco-analysed myself and think it began with lockdown, having to shelf my travel plans and having a feeling of been trapped on this feckin' island.
I refer to it as Father Ted syndrome.

We spend a lot of time in Norfolk and the pace of life is so different. We love it compared to round here and talk about retiring out that way, wouldn't go sooner as the job market isn't great. But genuinely (and yes I know I'm a saddo), the single thing I have in the negative column is the journey to home games. Nothing about family or friends or anything else, just the City and I think that winds the mrs up more than you'd imagine

Never good to mention City as a consideration when considering a lifestyle change with the wife and family!
Not a place I've spent much time in but the slower pace of life sounds very appealing.

I'll never move, got too many ties hereand hopefully my current state of mind is temporary but yeah, good advice, even when just holidaying.

I feel the same. Pretty depressed about the short, medium and long term prospects of this country
My gf agreed that if cov are on TV we're watching it
, I guess shes one if a kind xThats the good thing about me no ties accept a few surving family members but for a £17 plane (return) and £3 bus they're never to far away.
I wont be anywhere near them thank god, might bump into a few if I go Budapest for a weekend or something but thats it, I think everyone in balassagyarmat is confused to hear me speaking English

Why Hungary if you don't mind me asking?
I've been there a few times and the people seem lovely but, without another stupid politics debate, Orban is just a wrongun and they keep voting for him.

After seeing last night be careful as I assume the Coventrian will be heading out there too looking for kindred spirits.

I work with an Hungarian fella, reckons the alternatives are worse though personally I find that hard to believe.

Weirdly Hungary was a destination place 10 or so years ago for white supremacists from the US and UK who bought up all the houses in abandoned villages and renovated them so they could live in a racially pure closed society.

Probably able to carefully manage his media profile and smear others so public perception is skewed in his favour.
It probably works the same elsewhere where people wonder how on earth Johnson is in charge and a Brit telling them the likes of Corbyn and Starmer are worse. I reckon their reaction would be "really?!"
Look at the last election. Labour said there would be some tax increases and it was badly received. Tories promise there won't be any then ramp up national insurance and a lot of those same people aren't that bothered about it.

People voting to keep another politician out are a big problem here as well

Make sure you spend some time developing your social circle so you don’t feel dependent on her. Even if it means spending some time alone at the start, it’s important you don’t live your life through her and you feel dependent/rely on her too much.
Yea man, there's a few I have met already there but will be open to more.

Moved to the U.S 17 years ago.
Went to the local football 'Sock-uuuur' training nights and met a shit ton of people.
The language was a bitch to learn though...
I play golf, football, go to the beach and drink heavily in my free time.
